Kyrie Irving (ribs) and Gordon Hayward (back) have been ruled out, but Coach Brad Stevens said he plans to play the rest of his regulars at least three quarters on Saturday.

This is the fourth and final preseason contest for the Celtics, so Stevens wants to make sure his rotation players get plenty of burn. For anybody rolling out a DFS lineup on Saturday, Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Al Horford are all solid targets. Oct 6 - 12:07 PM

In a recent interview Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said that he believes his team has "eight, nine, maybe 10 guys that are starters."

In last season's run to the Eastern Conference Finals no Celtic averaged more than 32.2 minutes per game, and that was a player in point guard Kyrie Irving (knee) who missed 22 games and the entire postseason due to injury. Not having Irving and Gordon Hayward (leg/ankle) wasn't optimal by any stretch, but the silver lining for the Celtics was that players such as Terry Rozier, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum received more opportunities to shine. Given the number of options at Stevens' disposal, fantasy owners could experience some headaches when trying to figure out which Celtics to go with on a nightly basis. Aug 8 - 8:40 PM

Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he will shorten his rotation for the playoffs.

"No change from the standpoint that you're probably only going to play an eight, nine, briefly 10-person group," Stevens said. "You know your guys that played the most minutes in the past are probably going to play a bit more." This means Abdel Nader and Guerschon Yabusele could fall out of the rotation, but Semi Ojeleye could still have a role because the Celtics could use him to guard Giannis. Apr 15 - 11:10 AM

The general reaction around the league from the 76ers-Celtics trade is both teams are still maneuvering, according to Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com.

Fire up those Jimmy Butler rumors. Even with the Celtics reportedly only getting two firsts in the trade, they're still sitting on a heap of draft picks for the next three drafts, and can trade for basically any player on a rebuilding team. We'll see a ton of reports in the next few days in what should be a fun week. Sun, Jun 18, 2017 12:45:00 AM
